Comments from the 2009 Tour

"The Israel Tour was unlike anything I had experienced. We traveled as a community of believers, seeing Israel for what it was and where it is now. Our competent guide brought to life the land that Abraham, Jacob, Jesus and Paul walked on. You can't help but leave changed when history seeps up through your shoes."
~Rebecca

"I found myself continually surprised by what we were encountering. Everything is different than you imagine it; you find out it is better in many ways. Seeing the lay of the land, ancient sites, and the realities of modern Israel challenged me to consider how the past is a part of the present and how important it is to remember. It was fascinating to consider where scriptural stories could have taken place and what that would look like. Being surrounded by a different culture in the midst of a land that is vaguely familiar led me to consider that the scriptures were written in cultures different from my own. As an intensive program, each day of the Israel Study Tour was packed with information, touring, and adventure that left you wanting to see and hear even more."
